And you should be proud of him. That is a fantastic accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing. I'm not knocking the Peace Corps, but there's so much need right here in the US, it's great to see these young people working right here at home. I hope you make a s*&^ pile of food -- that boy looks like he could EAT!
